Answer: Therefore, if 30,000 students apply, then 9,000 students will actually enroll in the university.

Step-by-step explanation: 1. Calculate the number of students accepted: 60% of the students who apply are accepted. So, 60% of 30,000 students is (60/100) * 30,000 = 18,000 students accepted. 2. Calculate the number of students who actually enroll: Of the students accepted, 50% actually enroll. So, 50% of 18,000 students is (50/100) * 18,000 = 9,000 students who actually enroll.
